Ages. Placement is DEFINITELY critical. You want it on the hottest spot on
the TOP of your drive. If you can, mount it on the motor. But I REALLY
don't suggest that. I've been using 'em for gods know how long.. primarily
as a gobetween on the CPU and heatsink, but about a year or two on drives,
without a single failure or problem. :)
